NRA Ilk Will Be Enforcers Of Our New Theocracy. Why Churches Support Gunz.

A new theocracy based on white supremacist is ultimately the goal of the NRA. If you listen to code speech and LaPierre at CPAC that conclusion is the only one you can come to. It is crucial that the militias have these weapons. And a Christianized military would be a part of it in the end.

Sure what I am saying is hyperbole in some ways, but look at where we are headed with so many laws creeping into our system. How many law makers in Congress are married to radical Christian organizations. Just the sustained attacks on women's reproductive right and abortion should be signal.

It is important to remember that one has to look at the whole picture. Look at all the supposedly insignificant events that end up connected. Look at the listening event started by prayer and remembrance. It is a public event. Look at being a good Christian being connected to being a patriotic American. Look at all the initiatives aimed at purging minorities and non Christians from voting.

This NRA fight is just one facet of the entire situation. Look at the insinuation by Trump that NOT supporting the NRA agenda is not patriotic.

and if it ever came down to it, they won't hesitate to use them against us?

It's one of the reasons why I still keep guns. I never have and never will own an assault rifle or any other semi-automatic rifle, and recent events have caused me to swear off handguns, won't ever own one of those either. But I still have a few Marlin lever action rifles and a few shotguns. And until the other side, which is already way more heavily armed than me, is disarmed a little bit, I'm very hesitant to give those up.

None of them are on any potential ban list anyways, and all of them are registered. But I find it ironic that of all the people the right tells me I need own a gun and be afraid of, the only one I'm truly afraid of is them.

And when she asked why, he replied, "I am defending my faith, blah blah blah."

There are many Christian Reconstructionist movement types in the government, and that movement espouses whites only. No peeps of color, no jews, no homos, just white christians. Think "Alt-Righters for Jesus."
